Dear Brad,
I'm praying really hard that God provides this job opportunity for
you, and that you will be able to sell your house and move.
I'm going to be praying really hard for you and Brenda..
Heavenly Father, Please provide a huge Financial Blessing for Brad
and Brenda. Lord, I believe that it is your will, that Brad will get
this job, and that they will be able to sell their house. Lord, I
pray that they would be closer to South Dakota. Lord, Please give
Brad and Brenda peace about this situation, and I thank You for
giving them wisdom, knowledge, love, and the finances to take on this
task. In Your precious Name, I thank you for what you are doing in
Brad and Brenda's lives. In your Matchless Name, Amen.
Love and Blessings,
Pat Ferguson
